    What muzzleloader could this barrel be used for?

    How about an English Percussion shotgun. Manton etc.

    I messed that up anyway. That character's name was Heinrich. Johann Joseph Heinisch was the father of Eduard Robert Heinisch who was 28 1/2 years old when he married Amalie Kowalski in 1857 at a protestant church in Skweirzyna (Schwerin an der Warthe). Another possibility.

    It was poznanproject.psnc.pl. It is in English. There are records for Jewish, Luteran, and Catholics and refined search options. I don't think Schwerin an der Warthe was (is) a small town. It is the capital of the county of the same name (Schwerin). Of course the Polish names are different.

    The Lutheran church where this character was married was in Swinary (Schweinert). This is a village less than 5 miles from Schwerin an der Warthe.

    Johann Gottlieb Heinisch of Skwierzyna would have been 27 in 1840. There were a handful of other possible characters. I can decipher some German but forget about Polish. Luckily the site is in English. The map search is confusing but it is handy. It would be nice to confirm that one of these...

    There was information in a family search that may be helpful but the occupation of the people is not listed. Perhaps you could use the dates of marriage and age to deduce and go on from there.(poznanproject.psnc.pl) johann Gottlieb Heinish seems to fall into the wrong time frame. Maybe his...

    Yes, I meant literally (after all). The maps confused me to no end. Forget about that!

    I am sorry that I cannot produce anything other than pure speculation. I did another search specifically for the words Schwerin a.d.W and found it several times in German books from 1830's-50's but again that is nothing of value. I got carried away and my eyes hurt from reading bizarre text and...

    Those letters (a.d./W) are on the barrel of both rifles also if I am not mistaken. I have to squint so I am not sure. Right after the word Schwerin.

    If this is a Polish rifle, I believe it would be eastern European afterall.

    The other rifle has those same letters (ad/W). Would it be too far fetched to suggest that this stands for (an der Warthe)?

    I found another percussion jaeger from I. Heinisch in Schwerin on an auction site. Same trigger guard but a much less elaborate hammer. At the bottom of the page I read (tac likes this) so I assume he saw it too. Circa 1840. No other information.

    I think this is the one I was referring to. Heinisch (1794-1872) Schwerin Warthe, Schwerin an der Warthe po. Doubtful however.

    I think that one was in google books. I cannot find my way back now. Pretty much a dead end because I cannot read German. I gave up.

    I found a Johann Heinisch of Schwerin Germany and Warst Austria in a geneology list. It fit the time frame but there were several that did. No information there and lists from the era are difficult for me to read because of the "bizzare" text style

    I wonder about the significance of the small marking near the front of the lockplate after the makers name (a.d/w)? Again I cannot see the fine detail on my phone.

    The rifle looks very similar styliscally to Suhl made rifles. Perhaps the gunmaker moved from Suhl. I did a search and found a list of "gunmakers in Suhl" but can not read the fine print on my phone.

    Cherry Tomatoes?

    I roasted some of the Roma type cherry tomatoes in the oven with olive oil and put them in the freezer for later. Usually I make pasta salad with Penne pasta for warm pasta salad or Rotini pasta for cold.

    The difficulties of gardening..

    Right now I have eggplants. Made a compost pile of grass clippings etc. and save coffee grounds for nitrogen; banana peels, citrus peels, and potato peels for potash; bonemeal etc. for phosporus along with other things. There was a problem last year regarding my tomatoes with tobacco mosaic...
